No, the VA will only certify benefits for one option at a time. Students wanting to pursue academic and continuing studies courses will have to choose between the two for benefits purposes. For continuing studies courses, students would have to complete the courses first before the academic classes can be certified. For academic classes, the term must be completed and the student then complete the continuing studies courses before academic courses can be certified again.
